What will be the negative effect of the gate?
Will it stop innocent people doing innocent things?

It's a very good point. Why is this place more worthy than anywhere else to be gated?
Fly tipping should be the target, not denying access to everyone. I can think of four places in Oswaldtwistle that are regularly targeted by fly tippers, including the picnic area on Haslingden Old Road. Should that have a gate accross it as well, which would stop fly tipping but would deny anyone else access too.
Fly tipping should be the story, not old unfounded comments on adult web sites.
It took HBC five weeks last summer to remove a chair, after I asked for it to be removed. It's little wonder people resort to calling rubbish removal 'firms' in the press, many of whom are unlicenced and dump the rubbish illegally, because unlike domestic waste the Council charge for businesses to dump their rubbish at the offical tip.
Sounds a much better story than the sordid sex site etc.
